- Buy it if you just want a basic visual walkthroughMy comments:-
Use of matte paper that produce dull color quality. The glossy type used by Prima for its other game guides are much more punchy.
Poor image quality - sometimes can't even figure out what the pictures are illustrating. This is especially so when the guide is trying to show you the combo moves of the various weapons.
The book could be vastly improved with more information - such as by providing convenient lists of special items (ie. golden scarabs and weapons) and the locations/quests to obtain them. The section on the special fighting techniques also does not cover all of the weapons. The illustrations for the specific weapons are also rather skimpy.
Most of the time, the tips for the Boss fights are too brief and don't work for me. I found tips from free guides available on the internet to be more thorough and effective for tackling the nasty bosses.
Buy the Prima game guide for Ninja Gaiden Black if you just want a basic walkthrough with pictures. I bought the book but still need to supplement from the internet with information that are not in (or those that cannot be easily found) the book.
